Russian Jewish activist raises awareness over Israeli attacks in occupied West Bank
Journalist Andrey X moved to Israel thinking he was escaping oppression in his home country of Russia, but has since become an activist against the Israeli occupation in the West Bank.
“Palestinians who are openly doing activism are targeted by both [the Israeli army] and by the settlers,” the journalist told Al Jazeera. “When activists show up with a camera, often times [the settlers] just leave.”

Palestinians bid farewell to Aysenur Ezgi Eygi
Mourners have paid their respects to Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, an American-Turkish activist killed by Israeli forces on Friday at a demonstration in the occupied West Bank.
The 26-year-old was taking part in a protest against illegal Israeli settlements on Mount Sbeih in Beita, south of Nablus, on Friday when she was shot.
US expects ‘thorough, transparent’ probe into killing of US-Turkish activist
The United States understands Israel is looking into how Turkish-American citizen Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed last week in the occupied West Bank, US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said.
“We expect that process to be thorough, transparent,” Patel said.
Twenty-six-year-old Eygi was taking part in the protest against illegal Israeli settlements on Mount Sbeih in Beita, south of Nablus, on Friday when she was shot.
The governor of Nablus in the occupied West Bank as well as eyewitnesses say she was shot in the head by an Israeli sniper.
Why would Israel? Biden couldn't go through with sanctions against the Netzah Yehuda battalion, responsible for the killing of Omar Assad, a 78-year-old Palestinian American, who died in January 2022 after he was detained by Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint. No justice was served.
With decades of IDF crimes being white washed by Israel's 'court system', why would the US expect a thorough, transparent probe...
